"Good job . Go take a rest," Xie Qing King said . His silver armor was in bad shape, and he was bleeding from the wounds he had sustained . Still, he had managed to push through and eliminate the three remaining birds .
Han Sen felt great relief following the end of that fight . There was one thing he had learned from this ordeal, though . It was to never mess with Xie Qing King . If Han Sen ever had to fight him, he knew he wouldn't win; not even if he used his super king spirit mode .
While they rested, Han Sen went to check on the bird Xie Qing King had punched away . It was actually still breathing, just barely .
"I'm good at cleaning up people's messes . " Han Sen approached the wounded bird with his Phoenix Sword .
He slashed its neck twenty times, and on the final strike, the spine was broken through and the entire head was severed .
"Super Creature Three-Claw Gold Raven killed . Beast soul gained . Its flesh is inedible and there is no Life Geno Essence for retrieval . "

Han Sen was so delighted, he felt intoxicated . He even thought he was dreaming for a moment, learning he had received another beast soul .
Even if he could not find or obtain the primary treasure of this strange realm for himself, all the trials he endured thus far had been worth it .
Han Sen looked at Xie Qing King and thought to himself, "He's so nice . He'd be even nicer if he helped me kill more . "
But Han Sen's wish was unlikely with Xie Qing King . The spirit enjoyed punching, and more often than not, his punches ended up messily exploding of their recipients .
"My Emperor is so powerful! You are the greatest spirit in the sanctuary!" Han Sen complimented Xie Qing King with surprising sincerity, swiftly returning to his side . While he did admire him a great deal, he was hoping the expression of such gratitude would convince the spirit to go a little easier in the next battle, and provide Han Sen with a few easy finisher-kills .
But as Han Sen complimented Xie Qing King, the spirit suddenly collapsed .
Han Sen saw his wounds were oozing silver blood . Many of the wounds were deep enough to reveal the bones inside .

Xie Qing King was strong, that could not be denied . But he was a hulking titan that preferred to withstand hits and power through a battle; he wasn't one for dodging . Going up against those four birds in that way had been a reckless thing for him to do .
Fortunately, Han Sen was able to draw one of the ravens away . If his greed hadn't gotten the best of him, and Xie Qing King had to fight all of them himself, he might not have survived .
Seeing Xie Qing King sitting on the floor, bleeding, Han Sen wondered if he should kill the spirit now while he had the chance . And while he may have indeed had the opportunity and capability to do so, he noticed that Xie Qing King's spirit stone was nowhere in the vicinity . Killing him now would just make him upset, and that would not be good .
Han Sen ran over to Xie Qing King and used his holy light, saying, "My Emperor, are you okay?"
Xie Qing King frowned and said, "Your healing is useless for a body as marvelous as mine . Take me to the lake, if you want to see me healed . "
Han Sen already knew the ability was useless, though . After all, it was an ability he had learned in the Second God's Sanctuary . He only used it to appear kinder, more faithful and appreciative .
Han Sen then picked up Xie Qing King in his arms and took him over to the lake .

He hoped Xie Qing King could heal . If Holy-Sword Emperor showed up again, he would most certainly be back with a vengeance—especially towards Han Sen .
With Xie Qing King there, though, Han Sen hoped the spirit could protect him and defeat Holy-Sword Emperor once and for all . But for that to happen, he'd have to be healed .
"I don't think Holy-Sword Emperor knows about this place, though . Does he? Regardless, I just need to get this dude patched up," Han Sen thought to himself .
But just as Han Sen finished thinking, a shadow flickered over the gentle waters of the lake . It was Holy-Sword Emperor . Speak of the devil .
Han Sen wanted to slap himself in the gob .
"How dare you show yourself in front of me like this," Xie Qing King coldly said .
Holy-Sword Emperor merely smiled and said, "I know you were born many years before I was, but you're not an emperor . Our powers are similar, I now realize . And now, with you being injured, you stand no chance . Give me the scroll you stole and I'll let you live . Either that, or I'll kill you and take it by force . "
"Did you just threaten me?" Xie Qing King's eyes looked murderous, as his stare drilled into Holy-Sword Emperor .
"Yes . And I'll act on my threat if you don't do as I have just told you . " Holy-Sword Emperor returned his gaze . He had been hidden out of sight for quite some time, spying on him .
"It looks like the spirits of today have changed; they do not acknowledge those who should be their superiors . " Xie Qing King stood up, as lake water dripped from the cuts it was working to fix .
Xie Qing King had been grievously injured, but he still stood up straight and strong . He was a renowned fighter, someone whose strength and power had been greatly admired in the past . The way he stood now resembled the glory of his hey-day, and this struck fear into Holy-Sword Emperor and his smug face .
Injured or not, people who possessed such power were always scary .
"Fine . I won't kill you, in respect for who you once were . But that scroll was mine, and you stole it . Give it back to me and I'll walk away," Holy-Sword Emperor asked, with a softened tone of voice .
Xie Qing King stepped forward; his naked, dripping body that was covered in cuts was quite impressive to Han Sen .
"The scroll now belongs to me, fool . I'll kill you in a single punch, punk . Who do you think you are, talking trash to an OG like me?" Xie Qing King spoke calmly, but the words were infused with a profound malevolence . It was frightening to hear him talk like that .
The silver blood in his body burned like veins of virgin, mithril ore . His entire body was suddenly set ablaze with silver fire . Seeing power that simmered like that would strike fear into a god .
